FRANCE 24 English Alex Pretti shooting: Right-wing media campaigns ‘placed a target’ on Minneapolis • FRANCE 24

Elliott Edsail, a PhD candidate at the University of Minnesota, tells FRANCE 24 about the outrage and frustration felt by Minneapolis residents after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents, which has sparked angry protests in a city already shaken by another shooting death weeks earlier. Edsail discusses the political and historical elements behind the Trump administration’s standoff with the left-leaning city, where thousands of federal immigration agents have been deployed after conservative media reported on alleged fraud by Somali immigrants and President Donald Trump repeatedly amplified the racially tinged accusations.
